NPLW Round 13 Review: Goals galore across the grounds

May 14, 2018

Souths United extended their lead on top of the table with a victory over second-placed Lions FC, The Gap and Brisbane Roar hit double digits while Meaghan McElligott continues to find the back of the net for Gold Coast United.

Meaghan McElligott once again led her team’s attacking efforts, with the help of fellow goal scorers Deeanna Thompson and Mackenzie Akins.

Two goals in three minutes from Wanderers captain Samara Christmas ensured that her team were down by only a goal at half time. However, her side couldn’t contain the United from securing all three points.

This contest between first and second was always going to be crucial for both sides and Souths United overcame the orange and blue of Lions FC, meaning the home side is now five points clear of second place.

Their 3-1 loss was the first of the campaign for Lions FC, whose only goal came through Lana Harch in the 71st minute.
